NameSilo

The NameSilo API Drop Catcher is one of the most popular choices when it comes to chasing top level expired domain names using DesktopCatcher! This registrar has proven great success with catching COM/NET domains in the past and it continues to be one of the most used options within our software.

With good speeds, free WhoIs Privacy on new registrations and low minimum deposits to gain API access; We recommend everyone use signup and use NameSilo when running our software!

NameSilo One-by-One Feature

This unique feature takes your list of COM/NET domains and arranges them into their exact drop order. DesktopCatcher will take your domains and check them to see which one will drop first, second..etc. Once in order, this thread will put all of its focus on just one domain at a time. So, rather than cycling through your entire list of domains, it only tries to register the first domain which is suppose to drop. Once that domain has dropped and been registered (by you or someone else), it will then move onto the second domain, and so on. This increases your odds of catching more COM/NET domains because all focus is being put on one domain at a time!

NameSilo Drop Catcher Limits

NameSilo is one of our top recommended registrars partly because of the way they handle limitations. They have no limit on the number of requests you can send each day, but they do limit how many requests you can send per second. NameSilo currently allows you to send a maximum of two API requests each second (per API key). Our software will automatically send requests to NameSilo as fast as possible. Similar to DynaDot, NameSilo has no minimum deposit required to get API access.
